Hi! I’m Dr. Darin Deterra, PhD, LMFT. I’ve been a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) for more than 25 years. I’m a Holistic Therapist, an Executive Coach, and a Quantum Healer. I call this the Golden Triad. ’m the author of several books, I'm an award-winning public speaker; a radio show host (Transformation Station in Monterey, CA), and a TV show host (Toasted TV in Santa Cruz, CA). I have lived in five different countries on four continents. I have written and produced more than 60 original songs, and designed a virtual world for kids that teaches Four-Dimensional intelligence. I have run marathons and triathlons, and bicycled triple centuries. I have climbed mountains around the world, and practiced skydiving in Washington, paragliding in Nepal, and parasailing in Africa. I have lived in Switzerland, Brazil, and India. I worked with Buddhist monks in Nepal and Bhutan, and I worked one-on-one with Ram Dass at his home in Maui. I have worked with some of the greatest healers on the planet and integrated this into my work. I have lived my dreams and I believe deeply that you can also.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

More than anything, I want you to feel, comfortable, relaxed, at ease, and free to talk about anything you want. Or not talk at all. This is your time. I won't push you to the point of discomfort or bore you to tears on the other extreme. We have an opportunity to commit to life, to grow, and to transform in ways you may not have imagined possible. This is your life and I am here 1000% to serve your highest needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

When I am at my best, work doesn't flow from me. It flows through me. I am deeply honored to do this work. I see miracles every day. But I honestly cannot take credit for the best work that takes place. It comes from a higher Source and a Higher Power than myself.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Every client comes with a unique set of experiences, feelings, and needs. An experienced therapist will tailor therapy to the unique needs of each client. I find myself playing the role of a safe father for some clients who didn't grow up with a safe, available, or loving dad. Many women have traumas and deep mistrust relating to men, particularly narcissistic men. For these women, we are building a new template or model for a safe relationship that honors the Divine Feminine. Some men need to be initiated into the Divine Masculine - a mature masculinity that's built on a self-defined "code of honor.” Other clients are working from a completely different set of needs. More than anything, I want you to feel, comfortable, relaxed, at ease, and free to talk about anything you want. Or not talk at all. This is your time. I won't push you to the point of discomfort or bore you to tears on the other extreme. Having said this, we have a rare opportunity to commit to life, to grow, and to transform in ways you may not have imagined possible. This is your life, and I am here 1000% to serve your highest needs.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Hi! I’m Dr. Darin Deterra, PhD. II’m a Holistic Therapist, a Coach, and a Healer. I have many specialties, including Client-Centered Therapy, Trauma Wprk, Somatic (embodied) Therapy, energy healing, Couples Counseling, Christian Therapy, Depth Therapy, and much more.

Couples Counseling

I give my clients my 7 minute Communication Video to begin. It's very comprehensive. Communication is the number One reason cited for divorse. I also work with porn addiction (Yes, it can be healed) and sex addiction.

Somatic

Wilhelm Reich once said that "For every repression in the mind, there is a corresponding repression in the body." Alexander Lowen said that "The body doesn't lie. " I would add that "The energy body doesn't lie." Quantum Physics will change mental health in the coming century. Thoughts and emotions are frequencies. Trauma oftrn begins in the energy body. Mental Health and Physical Health go hand in hand.
